No, the problem is a user configurable number of variables to be
printed that will imply a user generated format.

I'm not a va_args expert but isn't it a macro therefore done at
compile time?

I'm beginging to think there should just be a selection of format
strings available for csv and doing like Brian said and just
hard-coding them.

Anyone else use csv? (besides Brian)
